THE BATTALION
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1978
Page 3
Texas A&M University students
have until next Monday to drop
courses and not affect their grade
point ratios, said Robert A. Lacey,
registrar.
Under the present Q-drop system
students dropping courses only have
a Q recorded in their permanent
record, which has no effect on the
student’s over-all grade point ratio.
Lacey said the Q-drop system
goes into effect on the 12th class day
and ends the fifth class day after
mid-semester grades are reported.
He said students have until 5 p.m.
Monday to Q-drop.
Lacey said 8,650 students
Q-dropped at least one course dur
ing the 1977 fall semester. Of this
number, he added, 4,714
Q-dropped after mid-semester
grades were reported.
Lacey said the last week of
Q-drops “just floods us with drops.
It’s about 1,000 drops per day in
that one-week period.”
Lacey said that extra clerical per
sonnel are hired to help handle the
heavy load during the last week of
Q-drops. Lacey added that a stu
dent dropping a class 10 days before
mid-semester grades come out will
still have the class listed with his
mid-term grades, but it will not be
listed with the grades at the end of
the semester.

Red hot season
wilts Aggie fans
Scheduling of September home
football games at 1:30 p.m. may
cause a serious problem with the
[health of those viewing the game,
says Dr. Claude Goswick, director
ofthe Texas A&M University health
center
Watching a game at that hour,
especially in direct sunlight, may
cause heat prostration or heat
stroke, Goswick said.
Temperatures in the 90s during
Jthe Texas A&M-Memphis State
'game caused approximately 120
students to be treated for heat
prostration at the University’s three
first-aid stations.
Goswick recommends playing
September home football games at
night to reduce the risk of heat prob
lems.
He says the situation needs study
ing before something serious hap
pens.
“Someday someone is going to die
out there, he said.
Athletic Director Emory Bellard
said the condition of the lighting
system is one reason for the lack of
night games.
Right now our lights are not such
that we could use them for a night
game. We had thought that it would
be hot for the Memphis game but
we did not know that it would be as
hot as it was. When scheduling the
games we try to take the heat into
consideration,” Bellard said.
Assistant Athletic Director Mar
vin Tate echoes that statement.
“Were not trying to cause dis
comfort for our fans in any way, it
iust turned out to be unseasonably
hot for the Memphis game,” he
said.
Historically,' our games have
been at 4,” Tate said, ‘‘but a few
years ago, during the energy crisis,
we were asked by the A&M com
mittee studying the energy conser
vation problem if we could play all
our home games during the day. We
had been playing a few at night.
“At the committee’s request we
went to scheduling games at 1:30 in
the afternoon, a new concept at that
time,” Tate said.
With the Kyle Field expansion
program so near to beginning, it
would be senseless to renovate the
current lighting system, Tate said.
Tate said the temperature re
mains the same whether the games
begin at 1:30 or 4.
The Athletic Department is look
ing at the problem and will consider
a solution before scheduling game
times for next year, Tate said.
